Congratulations to the six artists whose work was selected to be featured on the CitySkate “street gallery” installation that will be on display throughout the holiday season.

Artlink and CityScape Phoenix invited local artists to submit samples of previously completed work to be considered for display on a structure that is a part of CitySkate in downtown Phoenix.

We were thrilled with the response and excited to provide an opportunity for artists to participate in this holiday tradition that draws 200,000 people every year. It was the first year of this collaboration, and we’re already looking forward to next year.

Artlink and CityScape invite local artists to submit samples of previously completed work to be considered for display on a structure that is a part of CitySkate in downtown Phoenix.

A panel will select the top SIX selections. Each winner will receive a $200 prize. Their works will then be reproduced on banner material and displayed on a chiller structure (two 40’ banners, three artworks on each) within CitySkate and featured in CityScape promotions.

There is NO SUBMISSION FEE for this call. The deadline to submit is November 7, 2016.

Artlink Inc. will present refreshing work from local artists in a group exhibition at Cityscape in downtown Phoenix.

Refresh at CityScape will be a tranquil oasis in the middle of a bustling and broiling city. Refresh is an exhibit on the power of water to soothe us as the temperature spikes. This can come in the form of dancing in a summer storm, swimming at a beach or pool, or taking a big swig of an ice cold beverage. We are looking for work inspired by water.

The display space for the event will be open to the public, Artlink board members and volunteers will install the art and handle sales.
